I have no knowledge of Grundig products, but are the 550 and 500 the same
radio? I think that this one (550) is different-no? What are the differences-similarities? Thanks-Scott -- Cheers! Scott Hoffman Dual Conversion, but that's not the problem. It is basically an awful radio to use. Dan In article , "The DXer" writes: Universal Radio, Inc. has it for $99.95! Check out at: http://www.universal-radio.com/catal...able/0550.html -The DXer |

SH,
The 'original' Grundig-AG (Germany) Yacht Boy 500 was designed by Grundig Germany and manufactured in Europe (Portugal). - - - Battery HOG [.] = = = Only Average AM/MW and SW Reception. + + + Good FM Sound when used with the AC Adapter. The 'new' Grundig-USA (ETON Corp.) Yacht Boy 550 was designed and manufactured by Tecsun GEM in China ) It is physically designed to to look in 'shape' and 'form' to appear like the 'original' Grundig YB-500. Hope that Tecsun Grundig "FIXED" some of the 'original' Grundig YB-500's problems. ? WHY IS IT ? That all the the 'original/good old times' "European Design and Quality" Grundig Radio Collector/Lovers never mention the Grundig YB-500 ? ~ RHF -o/m- "Grundig Yacht Boy Radios" eGroup at YAHOO !

The instruction books is unreadable, and It also eats batteries like there is no tomorrow. It was Grundig's first attempt to resond to the Sony SW-55/77. They had a lot to learn. You cannot pay me enough to want to own another YB500. |

You cannot pay me enough to want to own another YB500. My cousin has one of those. He asked me for some tips on how to use it. It didn't take me long to realize that the YB 500 was, and is, the single most annoying radio I have ever had the displeasure to work with. And the manual was nearly incomprehensible. But it's a good performing radio with nice sound. 100 bucks? I'll bet Art Bell could have sold a million of 'em at twice the price. Every Bell fan wants, no needs, a radio designed for visitors from another planet. Frank Dresser |

Akin to someone coming out whith a newly designed car called he "Edsell " or "Corvair" Dan |
